To be honest with you, you will be surprised when you find out where cinnamon comes from. And the answer to the million-dollar question is – cinnamon comes from bark. Note: to be more specific, it comes from the inner layer of bark derived from dozens of varieties of evergreen trees that belong to the genus Cinnamomum.

The cinnamon farmers first shave the outer bark off the trees, and then shave off the inner bark — the cinnamon layer. Then, the cinnamon is then dried for use. After that, when the cinnamon is dried, it naturally curls up into quills. The farmers cut those quills into sticks or crushed into a spice powder.

You should know that there is no such thing as true cinnamon. Many people around the world think that Ceylon cinnamon is real cinnamon because of its scientific name, Cinnamomum verum. Cassia, scientifically known as cinnamomum cassia, is just as real. You should also know that most (80-90%) of the world’s Ceylon cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka. Cassia cinnamon mainly comes from Indonesia, which is responsible for about two thirds of the crop. The rest comes from China, Vietnam and Burma.
